For commercial photographers

Quote a shoot once. License it to every client who needs the pictures.

Cost Share Studio is multi-party licensing and invoicing: one production, named grants, a split that gets cheaper to join as the room fills.

The sample is a full studio — jobs, clients, licenses, payments — with a live estimate you can join. It is separate from your own books.

Price the shoot once

A studio fee, a surcharge for each extra licensee, and expenses. As more clients join, the total rises and each share falls.

Architects send the estimate to the builder, the millwork shop, the lighting designer. Each named client gets a license. You keep the copyright.

When the split is at rest, lock it. Print or PDF each invoice. Track who may use the work, and until when.

Built for architecture, interiors, product, and hospitality work where more than one company needs the same pictures.

One production. Named licenses. The math is on the estimate so nobody is guessing what it costs to add a client.

A link the commissioning client can forward. New parties join the split; everyone sees the new share.

Someone saw the pictures later. A contact sheet and a separate grant, without reopening the split.

A directory of everyone named on a job, and a register of grants — estimates, active, expiring, expired, requested.

License grant, terms, and a bill for that client alone. Print or download a PDF.

Studio defaults for boilerplate, credit line, and terms of service. Presets for the grants you quote most.

Northlight — five jobs, a dozen clients, grants that are open, expiring, and expired. Change anything. It resets when you open it from here.
